Oh I should mention that the current set up for flow consits of the following,

2 MJ1200 at either end with deflectors currently installed but I do vary the direction from time to time.
3 Hydor Koralia Nanos.
1 Aquaclear HOB for extra flow and place to put carbon in and changed twice a month.

Can you take some closeups of your overflow box and how it looks inside?

I'll see what I can do. I sent my camera in for repairs yesterday. I've included the best photos of the box before I installed it into the tank. Of course the box is now in the tank and covered with coraline algae.

If you picture the CPR overflow black box but with teeth in it, that is what mine is most similar to. I was able to make the box to my specifications and to the size I wanted it to be.

Was it cheaper that buying the CPR or AquaC box, probably not when you figure the cost of materials and my time to build the box. But of course I make over $20.00 an hour at my job so that might not be a fair figure to go with. *lol*

Cheers,
Alex

Hey, Alex

Nice set up you got there. I need to come by and take a look once my tank settles down. I just finished re-aquascaping my tank after the rock slide I had. hahah, I went through a stick of aquamend and 2 super glue tubes to put everything back in place.

Thanks, You're more than welcome to swing by anytime.

Figured I'd post this here rather than start a new thread. *lol*

Surface skimmer box that I made for Jaysauce. Also was able to quickly pound out a small frag rack with the left over acrylic. At no extra charge of course. *lol*

Cheers,
Alex

Hey Alex...

I plan on painting my HOB ps/fuge tonight and getting ur surface skimmer on there so Ill take some pics.I just bougth a nylon nut to glue to the skimmer so that I can use a 1/4-20 bolt.

Do you know where I can get some magnets for that frag rack? I would use a magfloat but I am trying to not make it look so bulky.

Thanks!!!
